PETROLEUM FOR FUEL
4 New Method Of Supplying Power to
Locomotives and Steam Vessels.

4 New Method OF supplying FoWef 70
Locomotives and Steam Vessels.
The use of petroleum instead Of coal
on a Pennsylvania railroad train rum
ming from Altoona to Pittsburgh prob
ably foreshadows a great change in the
methods Of supplying power to locomo.
tives in the United Safes. About
~ barrels OF oil, carried in q tank
on the tender, were consumed during
the trip Of ZIG miles. and the expert.
ment is reported to have been COM
pletely successful.
1t is strange, that the residuum OF
petroleum was not substituted for coal
some time ago in the locomotives that
traverse the State whose vast depos its
of petroleum have for years supplied
the markets of the world with the best
quality of Illuminating oil. AS it is.
we only follow the example set by the
carriers of Baku petroleum. In 1884
large quantities of oil were used as fuel
on the Russian railroads in the region
between the Black and Caspian seas.
One year later oil residuum had sup.
planted coal not only in the locomo.
tives of the Transcaucasion and Trans.
caspian railways, but also in the
furnaces of 300 steamboats, plying on
the Caspian and in the Volga river.
Last year Russian oil was used almost
to the exclusion of coal on the Swedish
railways, an engine using oil "a
drawing trains between Alexandria
and Cairo, and the same kind of fuel
supplied power for all the engines Of
the Baku refinerics. From Moscow to
Teheran and from the Merry oasis to
the port of Batoum, on the Black Sea.
oil has taken the place of coal on
thousands of miles of railway and in
hundreds Of factories.
Last February the sailing vessel
Protektsia arrived at Odessa, carrying
three hundred tons of oil residuum
consigned to the factories at that port
which had been using English coal.
The price of this fuel at the port Of
Novorossisk, where it had been taken
on board, was about four dollars and
fifty cents n ton. 1t was acknowl.
edged that n ton of it would do the
work of two tons Of English coal in the
factories of Odessa. and in England
he opinion was freely expressed that
before long vessels would be carrying
this residuum to ports on the Mediter.
ranean. The completion of the North
Caucasus railway to Novorossisk and
the improvement Of that port at a cost
of one million nine hundred and thirty
five thousand dollars open for Caspian
oil a new outlet which has advantages
that Batoum can never possess. More.
over, the new road traverses the Black
sea petroleum field, rich in oil,
which will nov be developed.
In May last the steamship
Charles Howard was supplied in
London with appliances for burning
residual oils, and Immediately after
ward she started for the Black Sea.

AUGUSTA, Me-, April IA liquor
case on trial in the superior court here has
developed a conflict between the federal
and state courts as the result of a clash
between the new liquor law of the state.
and the regulation of the internal revenue
department. One of the provisions of
the new liquor law is that the payment of
the retail internal revenue tax by the ac-
cused shall be considered primd Jdcie evil
dence of a violation of law, and the pen
alties provided shall be inflicted without
court process. In the case on trial Reu-
ben G. Hall is charged with violation of
the law. and Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue Murphy was called to the stand
to testify as to the payment Of retail tax
by the defendant. Murphy refused to
testify, stating that if he should give
such evidence his action would be likely
to reduce the amount of collections in his
district, besides being contrary to the in
structions of Collector Redman.
Judge Wesitheur then ordered him
committed for contempt OF court and sus-
pended action of the mit,mm until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, the prisoner
meanwhile remaining in the custody Of
the sheriff. This was to give Murphy an
opportunity to petition Judge Webb. of
the United States District Court of Port
land for Il writ of habcas corpus, necessary
papers for which were at once forwarded.
This morning Collector Redman tele-
graphed Judge Wesithcur that Murphy
was acting in accordance with instructions
of himself and the commissioner Of inter.
nal revenue and requesting that the pris-
oner be discharged. This request was
not granted and the case was continued.
The result of this case will have an inl-
portant bearing on the matter Of admins
tering the liquor laws adopted at the re-
cent session of the legislature.

A Mlsspent Life.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Mail and
Express says: Those who knew Primrose
Hopping, son of the wealthy William
Hopping, of California, made an %investi-
cation of the case of a man who died at a
lodging house at the Bowcry yesterday
morning from starvation and exhaustion,
and are convinced hat the dead man is
young Hopping. 1t was stated that lately
all attempts to help the young man had
proved a failure and that he showed no
desire to help himself.
He had distant connections through
marriage in the city, and the last they
saw Of HIM was Just previous to the holi
days, when he appeared in a very desti-
tute condition and was given an oppcrtu-
nifty by them to make q new start in the
world. They say he was well educated
and of excellent family. He became ln-
fatuated with a female member of an
opera troupe playing in California, and
having a good voice Joined the troupe.
After the company disbanded and the OBJ
iect of his infatuation had disappeared he
shipped as a sailor on a fishing vessel and
was wrecked. After thi, he turned up in
this city.

@ Cattle Trail,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The secre-
tary of the interior, upon consideration OF
the request presented by cattle owners in
Texas, for the establishment of a new
cattle trail through the Chichasaw terri
tory, has decided that there is no Law
which empowers the interior department
to make an appropriation of such portion
of the land of the Chickasaw nation as
would be required for the establishment
of such a cattle trial.
The governor of the Chlckasaw nation
complains that cattle driven over the
present route are allowed to Craze on val
liable ranges along the trail, at the ex-
pense of the nation. The secretary in his
decision says, after refusing to grant the
change: If, however, such cattle are per
mitted to wander outside Of proper limits
Of established cattle trails and public
highways, and are allowed to trespass
upon grazing or other lands of the
Chickasaws, and complaint of such tres
pass is made by the Chickasaws to the
proper officer of the department. it will
be bound to take such action as will, in
its judgment, fulfil the guarantees con
tanned in the treaties with those Indians
and enforce the laws against tresspassers
and intruders in Indian Territory.
